Role of Digitalisation in Good Governance

Inclusive governance forms the foundation of a healthy democracy. In keeping with the idea, Good Governance Day is celebrated in India on December 25 marking the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Observance of the day is aimed at fostering citizen’s participation in governance.

In present times of improved connectivity and advanced technology, digitalisation can augment the idea of good governance by bringing in more accountability, transparency in the government machinery. Initiatives like Digital India and MyGov are working towards fulfillment of the shared goals of government and citizens.
